Those who said we were worst ever top flight team

[Balham]

I don't get that we were the worst ever last season. Not a chance.

Look at how many games we lost by a single goal, especially at home.

How many games were we level and one goal either way would swing it?

The difference to the season before was that if we went 1 down, there was no way we could come back from that.

So many games lost by one goal. Look at how many draws (or lack of) we achieved that year. Add on 8 draws from games we lost narrowly by 1, and we "nearly" survived.

We were just toothless.

Edit: 17 1 goal defeats that season

We might have lost 17 games by a single goal but in how many of them did we seriously look like coming back? West Brom away maybe. The issue was that we were so toothless that sides knew that if they scored first we were done.

 

[blade too long]

Our record last season: scored 20, conceded 63. Difference -43.

Watford this season: scored 34, conceded 77. Difference -43.

I know maths isn't always your strongest suit but those goal differences are equal therefore the next tie breaker would be goals scored. Watford better ours by 14.

I'd read some one else's who hD put we had a better gd and food it to be right but it wasn't couldn't be arsed. to argue over which is better scoring more or conceding fewer
